Cats Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EEF GFG| They are alike prim scholar and perfervid lover | A |
| When comes the season of decay they both decide | B |
| Upon sweet husky cats to be the household pride | B |
| Cats choose like them to sit and like them shudder | A |
| - | |
| Like partisans of carnal dalliance and science | C |
| They search for silence and the shadowings of dread | D |
| Hell well might harness them as horses for the dead | D |
| If it could bend their native proudness in compliance | C |
| - | |
| In reverie they emulate the noble mood | E |
| Of giant sphinxes stretched in depths of solitude | E |
| Who seem to slumber in a never ending dream | F |
| - | |
| Within their fertile loins a sparkling magic lies | G |
| Finer than any sand are dusts of gold that gleam | F |
| Vague starpoints in the mystic iris of their eyes | G |
